Full Discussion: Merge files with multi-line stanzas
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Merge files with multi-line stanzas Post 302979217 by RudiC on Thursday 11th of August 2016 06:48:28 AM

This still is far from clear and complete. What should happen if there are several different "stanzas" for the same device, as for hp@JetNL97, that points to ports 9100, 9101, and 9102? And, are there any requirements on the order of output lines?
This is based an some assumptions on my side; it keeps the last device definition encountered and scraps the earlier ones. Plus, it has been developed and tested on my linux system; it may need some adaptions to run on your AIX. Still, I think it comes close to what you posted as the desired output:

Code:
awk '
!/^ /           {IX = $0
                 if (!(IX in TMP)) NIX[++CNT] = IX
                 delete TMP[IX]
                 next
                }
                {TMP[IX] = TMP[IX] RS $0
                }
END             {for (i=1; i<=CNT; i++) print NIX[i]  TMP[NIX[i]]
                }

shtool-arx

SHTOOL-ARX.TMP(1)					      GNU Portable Shell Tool						 SHTOOL-ARX.TMP(1)

NAME

       shtool-arx - GNU shtool ar(1) extensional command

SYNOPSIS

       shtool arx [-t|--trace] [-C|--command cmd] op archive file [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       shtool arx is a wrapper around the archiving tool ar(1). It provides the ability to create archives out of existing archives, i.e., if one
       of file matches ""*.a"", the archive member files of file are used instead of file itself.

       The trick of this command is the automatic handling of archive members which is especially interesting if one wants to construct a (usually
       top-level) library archive out of pre-built sub-library archives (usually staying inside subdirs) in a large source tree. For GNU libtool
       based projects, a similar functionality is provided by GNU libtool internally, too.

OPTIONS

       The following command line options are available.

       -t, --trace
	   Shows the actually involved shell commands.

       -C, --command cmd
	   Set the used ar(1) command to cmd instead of just "ar" (searched in $PATH).

EXAMPLE

	#   Makefile
	AR=ar
	RANLIB=ranlib
	  :
	OBJS=foo.o bar.o
	LIBS=baz/libbaz.a quux/libquux.a
	  :
	libfoo.a: $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
	    shtool arx -C $(AR) rc libfoo.a $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
	    $(RANLIB) libfoo.a

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool arx command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool. It was prompted by
       need to build libraries out of sub-libraries inside the OSSP project.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), ar(1).
